Sinai
Continued from Page 1
stitution without a commit-
ment from the other health-
care organization to main-
tain Sinai's Jewish identity.
Sinai was built with grants
from the Jewish community
in 1953. Under a merger, it
would continue to be a mem-
ber agency of the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
"I don't know if this is
good news or bad news," said
Dr. Jerrold Weinberg, a
trustee liaison to the
medical staff. "Some doctors
are doing better at Sinai
than at Ford, but how mean-
ingful is that? Being more
independent could create a
financial burden on the Jew-
ish community at a time
when Operation Exodus (for
Soviet Jewry) is the com-
munity priority."
Dr. Conrad Giles, immedi-
ate past president of the
Federation and chairman of
the executive committee,
said, "The most important
thing in the Jewish corn-
munity is that the Jewish
nature of Sinai Hospital con-
tinues to be preserved in any
system.
"This is a chaotic time in
medicine. The medical field
is being quickly segmented.
The quest for partnership in
our community abounds.
And there will be other op-
portunities if Sinai chooses
to pursue them," Dr. Giles
said. "Sinai in the long term
must become part of a larger
system." ❑

FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1990
Amsterdam (JTA) — The
Netherlands War and
Resistance Museum at
Overloon has decided not to
include human hair from
Auschwitz victims in its ex-
hibition of items from the
death camp, which opened
July 14.
The hair was withdrawn
after a flood of protests
greeted an announcement of
the exhibition.
Museum Director Simon
Temming said he wanted to
display the hair, "because
the public today needs very
strong shocks to appreciate
the horrors of Auschwitz."
At the same time, Temm-
ing wondered why people
reacted so emotionally to the
hair but not to the tin that
once contained the deadly
Zyklon B gas used in the
Auschwitz gas chambers.
The refusal to display the
hair garnered mixed reac-
tions. Annie Felsnee
Kupferschmidt, chairwoman
of the Netherlands
Auschwitz Committee, said
she strongly opposed
displaying the hair.
However, Judith Beloin-
fante, director of the Jewish
Museum in Amsterdam, said
that although her museum
would never exhibit hair or
other objects directly rela-
ting to the victims, visitors
to the Overloon museum
would be different from
those visiting the Jewish
museum, and it might be
useful in order to let them
know what happened in
Auschwitz.
The Zyklon B canisters,
along with chairs, tables,
wooden beds and eating
bowls from Auschwitz, have
been given to the Overloon
museum on permanent loan
from the Polish State Muse-
um at Auschwitz.
This is the first time so
large a quantity of
Auschwitz memorabilia has
been relinquished by the
Polish authorities. It was
formally handed over by the
Polish ambassador to
Holland on opening day.
Student Says
Attacks Rising
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Attacks
against Jews are on the rise
in the Ethiopian province of
Gondar and in the capital
city of Addis Ababa, where
much of the Jewish popula-
tion has fled, according to an
Israeli student who recently
visited the country.
Shlomo Moulah, a student
at Bar Ilan University, said
that in recent months, five
Jews had been killed by
armed marauders who
descended on villages in
Gondar and forced Jewish
residents out of their homes
at gunpoint.
Other Jewish residents
escaped to nearby villages
and from there to Addis
Ababa, according to Moulah,
whose account was publish-
ed Sunday in Ma' ariv.
He also reported that 15
Jews are being held in Gon-
dar's central prison for
allegedly trying to escape
the country en route to
Israel. He said he had been
told by family members that
the prisoners had been tor-
tured.
